The distance at which a traveler shortens the prayer and the manner of shortening
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the distance at which it is permissible for me to shorten the prayer? And what is the manner of shortening?
Answer:
The distance is what is considered travel, which is a day and a night for a mount, estimated at eighty kilometers, or approximately that as an approximate limit. Shortening is that you pray the four-rak'ah prayer as two rak'ahs: you pray Zuhr as two rak'ahs, 'Asr as two rak'ahs, and 'Isha' as two rak'ahs. This is shortening.
As for combining, it is combining Zuhr and 'Asr during travel, or during illness, and combining Maghrib and 'Isha' during travel, or during illness. This is called combining. If you pray Maghrib with 'Isha', it is called combining, and if you pray Zuhr with 'Asr, it is called combining. But if you pray Zuhr as two, or 'Isha' as two, or 'Asr as two, this is called shortening. May Allah guide them all. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah accept it.
